So after a year of admiring this watch I finally pulled the plug on it as I got a phenomenal price on EBay. Besides the look and perfect size (42mm) I was intrigued by the history of the Riviera. It was second only to the Royal Oak to put out this style, originally released in 1973. Also love the 5 day power reserve on the in-house movement. Finishing is phenomenal. I could see this being sold at a higher price point for sure. Curious what y'all think.

Normally not a fan of transparent dials but it kills here. Awesome pickup

Crazy coincidence how so many brands have the same "in-house movement" these days

The semi translucent dial adds such an interesting layer of depth and I love it

I definitely think this a great watch and an underrated brand.
